Here is a link to an article in today's Guardian by an anti-Saddam Iraqi exile - very strongly against this war, and very sceptical indeed about it actually being in the interests of his compatriots back home.

"Having failed to convince the British people that war is justified, Tony Blair is now invoking the suffering of the Iraqi people to justify bombing them...The present Iraqi regime's repressive practices have long been known, and its worst excesses took place 12 years ago, under the gaze of General Colin Powell's troops; 15 years ago, when Saddam was an Anglo-American ally; and almost 30 years ago, when Henry Kissinger cynically used Kurdish nationalism to further US power in the region at the expense of both Kurdish and Iraqi democratic aspirations....The regime in Iraq is not invincible, but the objective of the US is to have regime change without the people of Iraq".

My point about calling in Blix to check up on the US was that there seems to be some disagreement expressed on the thread as to whether the US has stocks of chemical and biological warfare munitions. Who better to sort out the true facts?
